UPDATE: Busted Brietbart FAKED IT (try and act surprised)

The pic isn't fake, but the screen grab of Congressman Weiner's twitter page was fake. What bullshit!
hat tip to Kossack Eileen B

Forensic analysis of the screen grab shows...
big shock: it's been manipulated. Not the yfrog photo, but the SCREEN GRAB itself that Brietbart is posting as "proof."

What was altered? The name "RepWeiner." Here's the proof:

Notice how the name RepWeiner is not only the brightest spot, but devoid of spatterings of color? That indicates that specific area -- the name -- has been saved more times than the rest of the image.

22. They'd have to take Martin Bashir too
That'd be a good thing. These guys are birds of a feather. Both of them belong in prison.

31. So do I, plus I want the "taste of his own medicine, see how he likes it" treatment
Edited on Sun May-29-11 06:13 PM by calimary
given to him - UP THE YING-YANG. Til he screams for mercy - AND NOT GET IT!

This guy is only allowed to continue his wanton attacks - BECAUSE THERE ARE NO CONSEQUENCES. Because there is no one fighting back, or suing him, or holding him accountable, or teaching him a good, hard, painful, and hopefully exhorbitantly expensive lesson. It has to be SO FRICKIN' PUNITIVE that even this bastard thinks twice before trying to pull anything else.

NO pity, NO mercy. NONE.

14. Hate to say it, but that's 'misandry'.
Edited on Sun May-29-11 12:19 AM by The Doctor.
Nothin' personal. And frankly, I absolutely agree about your assessment. Unfortunately, 'sexist' terms are not appreciated on DU.

If we can't have 'sexist' terminology of one kind, then we really shouldn't have the other kind of derogatory adjectives either.

I took exception to your post. Not because I disagree, but because if we're going to be gender sensitive, it would be wrong to only include one gender.

Cheers 'Z'.

6. Is this grounds for another defamation of character suit?
If so, I hope Weiner goes for the gusto.

8. Andrew Breitbart is the new & upcoming Supreme Practitioner...
...of Lying-Ass Political Propaganda, to the extreme right of KKKarl Rove.

Plus, everybody should stay away from "facebook."

It is a slow form of poison.

He's a terrorist fifth columnist working within our country to destroy us. And he will not stop voluntarily.

16. So how many hoaxes can you put out before you lose all credibility?
Seriously, why does anybody listen to anything this asswipe says - even for a nanosecond?

27. So was his account hacked, or is the screen grab faked?
If he was hacked, he needs go to the FBI with it......not just pay lip service and hopes it goes away.
